Using Technology to Assess the Interactive Skills in a Speaking Test

Sat, Nov 13, 18:40-19:05 Asia/Tokyo

Location: Room 12

This presentation will focus on an innovative face-to-face testing system that incorporates a variety of digital prompts to assess students utilizing a rubric based on CEFR-J can-do statements. This speaking test is designed specifically for Japanese learners of English and assesses their ability to speak and interact. Technology was used to streamline the test by using digital delivery for images and video in conjunction with an online assessment scoring input system.
